The "Emergency Call Button" of Spirit Airlines

This morning I flew Spirit Airlines from LGA to DTW and at the end of the safety announcements the f/a announced "We are going to be dimming the lights in the cabin, for your comfort you will find a light and an air vent above your seat, and A EMERGENCY CALL BUTTON" which seems to mean that they aren't interested in having to come around to the passengers, rather the button is there only FOR EMERGENCIES! Has anyone else seen that?

I also recall that two weeks ago on a different Spirit Flight (LAX-DTW), someone pressed the call button about an hour into the flight, and the button stayed on until the end of the flight, as no f/a came over...

BUT, I must say that I really enjoy Spirit Flights as they are extremely cheap (I paid 80 for this r/t) and they leave/come on time.
